I noticed that Yahoo! added an option for commissioners to add an "NA" roster spot last week. Since it was added after the season began, leagues can make this addition even though the season has begun.

Do we have any interest in adding this? I have an NA player right now, and I know several other teams have had them in years past. If we were to do it, I think the player's contract would have to still hit the cap. We could treat it just like a DL spot, I guess -- contract hits cap, can call up a farm player or sign an MLB fill in player.

I actually think it might be a pretty common occurrence as more and more farm players start expiring in future years. The decision to sign a guy has to come pretty early, and it would not be at all unthinkable that you might have to make your decision to sign a promising guy but he ends up having a stint in the minors at some point before seeing full playing time.

It frees up a roster spot to be used on an active player. Right now Dan Straily is taking up a bench spot and not playing.

Yeah, this could easily benefit me with Chapman. He's on a 5 year deal for me, but if they even move him to the rotation, he's going to probably see time in AAA. I was expecting it this season.
